    The paint it Tamiya acrilic light grey on the outside and un-weathered wood on the inside. I will ping Leslie and get him to pass on my request.

    Having missed the zoom talk the other night was there any photos of the stock pre-1921? If there was can anyone point me to where I might get hold of copyies? Març

    I have something similar in mind. I've a got the components for an A4 point which just need a track base and chairs. I'm thinking DN&GR circ 1914 ish

    I'm going to miss this one as well. How do you watch it on zoom post event?

    I have a finger in many scales but my main interest is 7mm.

    What are yo planning on using for rail on your new masterpiece?

    It's tempting but as a club of one there is a limit on the size of a layout I can operate on my own at an exhibition. Marc

    Complete kits are available in 7mm with brass 3point rockers sprung buffers and 3link couplings. They can be done in G1, S and HO as bodies on demand. They are currently not listed on the website just because I've not got round to it. These is also a Dundalk Newry and Greenore 2plk open available as well. Marc

    I don't suppose they are doing one in 36.75mm gauge
  10. Bob49
    If they are no longer in production then I will have a go at doing some as kits if anyone else wants some let me know. Marc
  11. Bob49
    Are these still available?

    Try Alan Gibson (Colin) has a good range of P4 wheels. It's best to email him. Marc

    I have built plain track using it in 7mm. It was pretty straightforward. Only issue I have in 7mm is they don't do check rail chairs for S7 so I went back to brass rivet construction for my S7 points. I have P4 point kit to build which has all the correct chairs. I believe that they do full sets of chairs in 4mm in OOFS, EM and P4 standards. So if your working in 7FS or in 4mm you should be fine.

    I have to say the brake van would be an interesting model
  17. Bob49
    Interesting prototype

    Those little platforms are actually quite common one lines around the world were tokens or staffs had to be exchanged. Marc

    Where would I get my hands on a copy of the GNR(I) coach book?
  20. Bob49
    Good Luck with the new job. Hopefully it somewhere nice.

    There is a 88 preserved and I have seen a drawing stating that the 48's could be supplied at any gauge between 2'6 and 5'3 so it is possible that a 48 came across the sea.

    In the 4ft8.5 world the smallest 6 wheeler I have found is a 28ft on a 18ft (9+9) wheel base built by the LSWR in 1879-83. After this date the length of the coaches grow out to 35ft with a 20ft (10+10) wheel base before the move to bogie stock in the 1890's. You can also guarantee that there was a coach with a dimension any where between the two. LNWR 6 wheelers were all 30ft1 long and the DNGR coaches were no difference.

    I managed to get a good look at a Dapol B4 tank yesterday. I was intrigued to see they held the roof on with twn nuts glued to the roof and two magnets attached to the inside of the cab. The magnets didn't actually come in contact with the nuts so there was no alignment issues. Marc

    Intresting cattle van on the left. Looks like an open topped one that has been given a flat roof. don't think I have seen one like it before. Marc

    The 2 plank is now painted. Buffers an wheels should be added tomorrow. I have also been working on 2.GNR(I) opens. A 4 plank open and a 6 plank open. These should be getting their wheels and buffers in the morning. Marc
